Intelligent Geospatial Application with Oracle Spatial AI and Oracle APEX
In this article, I built a simple end-to-end spatial analytics application using Oracle Spatial AI in Oracle Machine Learning for Python (OML4Py) and then prepared the results for presentation in Oracle APEX . The scenario I implemented is based on grouping geographic areas by household income and comparing two different clustering approaches: Traditional non-spatial clustering , where areas are grouped only by similar numeric values. Spatial clustering with regionalization , where areas are grouped not only by similar values, but also by geographic neighborhood relationships. The main idea behind this scenario is very practical. If I only cluster areas by income, I may get groups that are statistically similar but scattered across the map. But if I use spatial clustering, I can generate clusters that are both income-similar and geographically coherent . This makes the results more meaningful for regional analysis, location intelligence, a...
